of  regard'.  F.  ligne  de  regard  ;  G.  Blick- 
linie. The  line  connecting  the  centre  of 
rotation  of  the  eye  with  the  point  of  re- 
gard ;  for  most  purposes  it  may  be  taken 
as  agreeing  with  the  line  of  sight.  The 
line  connecting  the  fixation-point  with  a 
somewhat  variable  point  between  the  eyes 
is  called  the  binocular  line  of  regard  (^G. 
binoculare  Blicklinie).  The  primary  posi- 
tion of  the  line  of  regard  {^F.  position  pri- 
maire de  la  ligne  de  regard  ;  G.  Primärstel- 
lung, Normalstellung)  is — 1.  That  position 
for  normal  eyes  which  the  lines  of  regard 
assume  when  the  head  is  erect  and  the  lines 
of  regard  are  directed  parallel  to  the  median 
plane  to  an  infinitely  distant  horizon  (^(}. 
Fernstellung).  2.  That  position  from  which 
the  eye  may  move  up  and  down  and  right 
and  left  without  undergoing  any  torsion  ; 
for  many  eyes  a  somewhat  depres.sed  posi- 
tion. The  primary  position  for  convergence 
[Bonders]  is  that  position  of  the  plane  of 
regard  in  which  the  rotation  of  the  eyes 
about  the  lines  of  regard  in  convergence 
becomes  zero  ;  usually  a  depressed  position. 
The  secondary  position  (F.  position  secon- 
daire ;  G.  Secundärstellung)  is  a  position 
reached  by  rotation  about  a  horizontal  or 
vertical  axis,  or  any  position  other  than  the 
primary.  Third  positions  are  those  involv- 
ing rotation  about  the  antero-posterior  axis. 
besides  rotation  about  the  horizontal  and 
vortical  axes.  All  these  terms  are  applied 
t(i  the  eye  as  well  as  the  line  of  regard.

ual line  {G.  gemeinsame  Sehrichtungslinie, 
Sehrichtung  der  Netzhautcentra,  llaupt- 
sohrichtuug,  mittlere  Blickrichtung)  is  the 
line  in  which  appear  those  things  which 
image  themselves  on  the  points  of  direct 
sight  of  the  two  retinae  ;  practically,  the 
binocular  line  of  regard.  The  range  of 
movement  of  the  line  of  sight  (  G.  Bewe- 
gungsraum  der  Gesichtslinie)  is  an  irregu- 
lar conical  space  enclosed  by  the  line  of 
sight  in  all  the  extreme  positions  that  it 
can  assume  by  movement  of  the  eye  alone. 
The  apex  of  the  cone  lies  at  the  centre  of 
rotation  of  the  eye.  The  field  of  move- 
ment of  the  line  of  sight  (G.  Bewegungs- 
feld der  Gesichtslinie)  is  a  section  of  the 
above-mentioned  irregular  cone  by  a  plane 
(or  by  a  curved  surface  whose  centre  of 
curvature  is  the  centre  of  rotation  of  the 
eye)  perpendicular  to  the  line  of  sight  in

Listing's  la'w.  There  is  a  position  of 
the  eye  in  the  orbit  from  whicb  the  line  of 
regard  may  be  carried  to  any  other  direc- 
tion without  torsion  of  the  globe.  This  is 
called  the  primary  position,  all  others  being 
secondary.  When  the  eye  is  in  a  secondary 
position  the  line  of  regard  cannot  be  carried 
to  another  secondary  position  without  tor- 
sion of  the  globe.  Or,  as  stated  by  llelm- 
holtz  :  When  the  line  of  regard  passes  I'rom 
its  primary  position  to  any  other  position, 
the  angle  of  torsion  in  the  second  position 
is  the  same  as  if  the  eye  had  come  into  that 
position  by  turning  about  a  fixed  axis  per- 
pendicular to  the  first  and  the  second  posi- 
tion of  the  line  of  regard.

fixed  to  the  foot  and  ankle  by  a  figure-S 
bandage,  which  passes  through  the  notches. 
Counter-extension  is  made  by  a  perineal 
band,  the  ends  of  which  are  passed  through 
two  holes  in  the  upper  end  of  the  splint, 
where  they  are  tied  and,  when  necessary, 
tightened.

in  the  binocular  field  of  view  when  the  eyes 
have  their  primary  position.  They  vary 
slightly  from  the  true  vertical  meridian,

Psychophys'ic  law.  The  law  express- 
ing the  relation  between  a  change  of  inten-

in  the  sensation.  It  is  formulated  in  vari- 
ous ways.  -\s  originally  suggested  by  the 
experiments  of  E.  H.  Weber  (1831),  it  an- 
nounced that  if  the  first  of  a  pair  of  stim- 
uli can  just  be  perceived  as  different  from 
the  second,  then  any  other  pair  of  stimuli 
will  just  be  able  to  be  similarly  distin- 
guished when  the  (objectively  measured) 
ratio  of  the  first  stimulus  to  the  second  in 
each  pair  is  the  same.  This  Fechner  (18G(I) 
generalized  into  :  "  If  a  pair  of  stimuli 
give  rise  to  two  different  sensations,  then 
any  other  pair  of  stimuli  (differing  only  in 
intensity)  will  produce  equally  different 
sensations  when  the  ratio  of  the  first  to 
the  second  of  each  pair  of  stimuli  is  the 
same."  From  this  is  derived  the  formula- 
tion that  if  the  sensation  is  to  increase  by 
apparently  e(|ual  differences  of  intensity, 
the  stimulus  must  increase  by  equal  ratios; 
I.  r.  an  arithmetical  series  of  sensations  cor- 
responds to  a  geometrical  series  of  stimuli, 
or,  more  briefly,  the  sensation  increases  as 
(is  proportional  to)  the  logarithm  of  the 
stimulus.     The  physiological  interpretation 


404 


PSY PSY 


of  this  regards  the  logarithmic  relation  be- 
tween stimulus  and  sensation  as  inherent  in 
the  physiological  construction  of  our  ner- 
vous system.  The  stimulus  immediately 
antecedent  to  the  sensation  is  directly  pro- 
portional to  it,  but  has  been  moditied  by 
the  organs  of  sense  and  of  conduction  so 
as  to  be  no  longer  directly  proportional  to 
the  external  stiuiulus.  The  psychophysical 
interpretation  of  this  law  regards  the  re- 
lation between  stimulus  and  sensation  as 
an  important  ultimate  fact. 

Psychophys'ical  meth'ods.  Methods 
of  experimenting  in  determining  the  sensi- 
bility for  small  differences  of  sensation.  They 
arc  usually  enumerated  as  three  in  number  ; 
(1)  The  method  of  the  "just  observable  dif- 
ferences "  (  G.  Methode  der  eben  merklichen 
Unterschiede).  This  consists  in  applying 
a  stimulus — say  a  weight — to  the  sensitive 
surface  of  the  subject,  and  tindiug  how 
much  greater  or  smaller  a  second  weight 
must  be  to'  induce  him  to  recognize  it  as 
different  from  the  first.  It  is  better  to  be- 
gin with  a  difference  clearly  recognizable, 
and  gradually  diminish  it  until  it  is  no 
longer  perceived  ;  then  reverse  the  process 
until  the  diiference  is  again  clearly  percept- 
ible, and  take  the  mean  of  the  two  results 
as  the  '-just  observable  diflerence."  The 
method  is  useful  and  valid  only  for  speed- 
ily and  roughly  determining  the  sensibility. 
The  psychophy.sic  law  requires  that  the 
just  observable  difference  shall  be  a  con- 
stant fraction  of  the  mean  of  the  two 
stimuli.  (2)  The  method  of  '■  right  and 
wrong  cases"  (&'.  Methode  richtiger  und 
falscher  Fälle).  Here  the  object  is  to  record 
the  percentage  of  cases  in  which  the  sub- 
ject correctly  distinguishes  two  (usually 
little)  different  stimuli.  This  method  re- 
(juires  a  large  number  of  observations,  but 
is  the  most  widely  applicable,  and  under 
suitable  precautions  combines  accuracy 
with  simplicity.  The  psychophysic  law 
says  that  the  percentage  of  error  de])ends 
on  the  ratio  of  the  two  stimuli,  and  will 
be  the  same  when  that  ratio  is  the  same. 
(3)  The  method  of  the  "average  error" 
{G.  Methode  der  mittleren  Fehler).  Here 
the  subject  attempts  to  adjust  a  stim- 
ulus so  as  to  seem  ei|ual  in  intensity  to  a 
given  standard  stimulus — »■.  g.  to  draw  a 
line  e(|ual  to  a  given  line.  The  deviations 
in  the  several  adjustments  from  their  mean 
are  averaged,  and  this  average  is  taken  as 
marking  the  sensibility.  One  must  here 
distinguish  between  the  couatant  error  (the 
deviation  of  the  average  adjustment  from 


the  true  standard  stimulus)  and  the  van- 
able  error  (the  average  deviation  without 
regard  to  direction  of  the  .several  adjust- 
ments from  thi:ir  mean),  the  latter  alone 
being  suited  to  measure  the  sensibility, 
and  when  expressed  in  terms  of  the  stand- 
ard ratio  is  a  constant  if  the  psychophysic 
law  holds  good.  Like  the  preceding,  this 
method  requires  a  large  number  of  obser- 
vations, but,  unlike  it,  is  apjilicable  oidy  to 
a  few  kinds  of  sensation.  When  properly 
used  it  gives  accurate  results,  and  such  re- 
sults can  by  the  use  of  mathematical  for- 
mulae be  expressed  in  terms  of  the  method 
of  right  and  wrong  cases.  Other  methods  are 
also  used.  (4)  The  method  "  of  mean  grada- 
tions "  (G.  Methode  der  mittleren  Ab- 
stufungen). This  consists  in  adjusting  a 
middle  stimulus  so  as  to  be  as  much  more 
intense  than  a  first  stimulus  as  it  is  less 
intense  than  a  third  ;  for  example,  to  adjust 
the  proportions  of  black  and  white  on  a  disc, 
so  as  when  rotated  to  form  a  gray  of  an  ex- 
actly intermediate  .'^hade  lietwecn  that  foriu- 
ed  by  a  disc  with  much  black  and  little  white 
and  with  little  black  and  much  white.  If  the 
psychophysic  law  holds  good,  the  amount 
of  black  (or  white)  will  not  be  the  arith- 
metical mean  (/.  e.  the  half  sum  )  of  that 
on  the  first  and  third  discs,  but  will  be 
their  geometrical  mean  (/.  e.  the  sc|uare 
root  of^  their  product).  (4')  If  instead  of 
only  three  stimuli  we  arrange  a  series  of 
stimuli,  we  ought  to  have  a  geometrical 
series  of  stimuli  corresponding  to  an  arith- 
metical series  of  sensations.  This  is  what 
is  done  in  the  star  magnitudes,  though  it 
has  never  been  stated  as  a  separate  method. 

(4)  is   really  only  a   special  case  of  (4'). 

(5)  The  method  of  the  '■  gradual  incre- 
ment." This  recently-introduced  method 
consists  in  applying  a  stimulus,  and  con- 
tinuously increasing  or  decreasing  its  inten- 
sity until  the  change  is  [ierceived.  ((>) 
'•Method  of  equivalents"  (Methode  der 
.äquivalenten).  The  object  uf  this  method 
is  to  compare  the  sensibility  of  one  jiart  of 
the  sensory  surface  with  that  of  another. 
The  relative  pressure  sensibility  of  the  finger 
and  forehead  can  be  thus  compared  by  find- 
ing what  weight  on  the  finger  will  seem 
equal  to  a  given  weight  on  the  forehead, 
and  vice  versa. 

Psychophys'ical  move'ment.  A  hy- 
pothetical activity  assumed  by  Fechner  to 
explain  the  discrepancy  between  the  in- 
crease of  the  stimulus  and  that  of  the 
sensation.  This  movement  is  between  a 
hypothetical  tertium  i|uid  and  the  stimulus

processes,  lartro  portions  of  phj'siological 
optics  and  acoustics,  determination  of  the 
qualitativo  and  ((uantitative  characteristics 
of  sensations,  etc.,  being  in  this  sense  near- 
ly synonymous  with  experimental  psychol- 
ogy. 2.  In  a  special  sense  it  is  the  science 
of  formulating  the  quantitative  relations 
between  intensity  of  stimulus  and  the  re- 
sulting psychical  manifestation  or  sensa- 
tion. 3.  Sometimes  used  to  mean  the  sci- 
ence of  the  general  relations  of  mind  and

or  ''internal"  psychophysics  (G.  innere 
Psychophysik)  to  denote  the  study  of  those 
processes  which  are  intermediate  between 
the  stimulus  and  the  sensation,  and  which 
is  mostly  theoretical.  Outer  psychophysics 
(6r.  äussere  Psychophysik)  studies  the  re- 
lation between  the  stimulus  and  the  sensa- 
tion, taking  their  connection  as  an  empirical 
fact  ;  it  is  chiefly  experimental.  Quantita- 
tive relations  include  those  of  extension  as 
well  as  these  of  intensity.
